Kitchen Table Makeover

We re-purposed our kitchen furniture a couple of weeks ago. The table and chairs that we have is the set that Mike's family used when he was growing up. We've used the cute little set the past five years, and although it has served it's purpose, it was time for a makeover! I'm not a huge fan of dark wood and have wanted to paint the table white for a couple of years. I really like the look of painted furniture and wanted to do something more fun with the chairs. I started pinning ideas for kitchen table sets a year or so ago. (I didn't find the time to complete this project pre-baby and life was a bit hectic after the arrival of baby. Finally we found the time!). We decided on white for the table and a bluish-green for the chairs. We kept the wicker seat of the chairs as is. The process was pretty simple, just took some time. The table top was laminate so we sanded it with an electric sander. We used steel wool to scuff up the table base and chairs and then primed everything. Lastly, we painted! We gave the table a couple of coats and sprayed the chairs with Krylon Jade. The chairs are far from perfect (and will need an extra coat and a clear finish when I have a little time to spare), but I absolutely love the finished look! Before and after pics below:
